This water heater utilizes a propane-fired burner to route heat through a passage in the tank, transferring the heat to the water stored in the tank. This model features an automatic spark ignition system, also known as a direct spark ignition (DSI), making it easy to operate. To start the heater, simply ensure that it is filled with water and flip the switch. This feature requires a 12V DC connection to power the control board and igniter.

The lightweight aluminum material makes it easier to handle and reduces the added weight to your RV. Unlike porcelain-lined steel tanks, an aluminum tank does not require an anode rod for protection, simplifying maintenance. The aluminum material also offers a longer lifespan due to its resistance to corrosion. Additionally, aluminum is a good conductor of heat, leading to more efficient heating.

The electric ignition eliminates the hassle of manual lighting of your water heater. The electric ignition utilizes a control board that sends an electrical signal to the igniter, which then creates a spark to ignite the propane burner. Simply flip the switch (not included) to start the water heater, making it more convenient and easier to use.

When installing this water heater, additional components such as an exterior access door, ignition switch, caulking, putty tape and mounting screws are necessary for proper installation and are not included with the water heater. Installing an RV water heater requires an intermediate level of understanding and expertise in RV plumbing, electrical, and propane systems. It is recommended that only individuals with an understanding of these systems and the necessary tools attempt the installation.
